Same Difference Podcast KE

Are gay and lesbian people fetishised in Kenya? Is being queer some form of clout chasing? Join Dee and Skinny on the final episode of Season 1...oh they're in their complete feelings on this one!

This week, Dee and Skinny discuss toxic femininity in relationships, friendships and family.

Can you REALLY be friends with your ex? No crossing lines? No benefits, just friends? Join Dee and Skinny as they discuss their personal experiences being friends with exes.

Dee and Skinny haven't lived at home with their parents and siblings in decades in each case. What happens when you move back home and are now suddenly forced to answer questions like  "What time will you be home?" "Who are you going with?"

Have you ever given your partner a free pass in your relationship? Have you received one? This week, Dee and Skinny discuss their views on whether a free pass can actually be a good thing for a relationship and what it would entail.

If you had a time machine and could go back to your first relationship, would you still make the decisions you made? In today's episode we discuss the dating mistakes we made in our teens and 20's, what we've learned in our 30's and what kind of relationships we can tolerate now.

If you're a heterosexual girl, you have probably always dreamed of one day getting married...probably down to the most intricate detail, because society allows and pre-empts the marriage of heterosexual individuals. What happens when you're in a same sex relationship and these options are not available to you because your country not only refuses to acknowledge your choice, but also criminalises that very choice?

Also, would you give your partner a free pass in marriage? Have you? Let us know!

Modern relationships have expanded the purview of what it means to cheat on someone. It used to be that infidelity was when a person had sex with another person outside of a committed relationship. Nowadays, infidelity includes emotions, finances and even attention - it's no longer considered just physical. On this episode, we discuss whether we've cheated or been cheated on and the impact that has had on us as individuals.

Skinny and Dee have vastly different experiences as women. Heterosexual women who are sexually active will have experienced the side effects of contraception at one point. So how is it possible that Skinny once got a pregnancy scare?? 

Skinny moved between America and Kenya from age 2.

Dee moved to Australia at 19 where she lived for thirteen years.

Neither one of them could have foreseen how life would turn out and that they would eventually find themselves back in Kenya, but with an omnipresent feeling of being neither here nor there - neither fully Kenyan nor fully Western.
